Designing workplace systems through the lens of intersectionality

Beyond representation: Designing workplace systems through the lens of intersectionality.

With special guests: Arlene Rahn, Joulie Gindi (MSc), Simon Houghton and Shape Talent's Ailish Breen.

Why is intersectionality so crucial?
Women’s experiences in the workplace are shaped by a tapestry of intersecting identities – including race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, life stage and more. These dimensions of identity create unique challenges and opportunities, and understanding them is essential for creating inclusive and equitable workplaces.

For leaders, the stakes are high. Without an intersectional lens, we risk overlooking the most underrepresented women – and missing out on their invaluable talents and perspectives. By embracing this framework, organisations can build solutions that work for all women, driving innovation, inclusion, and progress.
